Holiday Down Time

I'm not busy with work over the holidays so I have been putting the downtime to good purpose. I read this:

The Art of Racing in the Rain, by Garth Stein. I would never have thought I'd enjoy a story about a race car driver, as narrated by his dog, so much but it is excellent and I highly recommend it!

I also read:

U is for Undertow, by Sue Grafton, also a good read. I love it when I find a new-to-me author with a long backlist; if Sue Grafton is new to you, you are in for a real treat but start with A is for Alibi, the first in the Kinsey Millhone series.

And I finished this quilt. Well, I mean I finished the top. Now it goes to Karen, the long arm quilter. It is big, 96" by 96" which is ample for our queen size bed.
